The Warriors Movie Site Forum

Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE the movie as it is, but a friend of mine saw it recently and mentioned that he was expecting more fights, in particular he was dissapointed about the fact that there were no fights with the Orphans, and a final battle witht he Rogues as well.

It got me thinking, there are only 2 real fights, against the Furies and the Punks (I wouldn't really count the Lizzies or when Cleon beats up a few Rogues). It makes me think that there definatley should have been a fight between the Warriors and the Rogues at the very least, though it would have been cool to see the Warriors wreck a few Orphans as well.

Your thoughts?

There's a fine line between too little and too much. They can't have too many or else they become, maybe, boring and unrealistic. With only a few good fight scenes, you appreciate them more.

The emotion of the encounters with the other gangs is high and enjoyable in itself. Fighting isn't always needed. When they run, that adds a certain amount of drama and enjoyability.

There is no pont at all having fight after fight with EVERY gang there is, that would just be stupid

Stupid yes, but that is exactly what the 'Remake' (if it deserves that name) will become

given the storyline-I don't know how they would have fit much more in--and considering there were no more Rogues after the Riffs got done tracking them down, I didn't need to see that one anyway.LOL

That goes to show why it is a good movie! It's not all about fighting but the strong personalities of the gang members and the will to survive (especially in the context that these guys were all innocent!).

HEy, if they added more fights they would have had to cut our precious marathon scenes.

the movie and game does need more fights.

Well a third fight wouldn't of hurt it.  Also it could of been a bit more darker.  But hey this is just me.

Well I think it's perfect the way it is!!!
More fight scenes??? Maybe, but the movie speaks also about men, courage, "hardcore" minds and justice!!!
A question to who wants more fights... if you were there, would have you REALLY wanted another fight??? 8)

OH YEAH!!!!!!
if it were me i would LOVE another fight!! exspecially against the Orphans (weak little......) and the Rouges!
Seriously, The rest of the warriors didnt know this but Luther got Cleon killed, so if i was Swan or any of the remaining Warriors and i knew Luther got Cleon killed i would love to kill Luther and have a nice fight with the Rouges, instead of leaving it to The Riffs.

Well anyway back to the proper subject, it would be much better if there were more fights considering that there was only 2proper fight scenes which both only went for like 2-5minutes.
Now i know it was made in 1979, but with movies now the fight scenes own all and go for ages but still keep you entertained. (all the special effects)
Now i dont know why but the Warriors movie dosent have much violence/fighting but still keeps you entertained, and isnt it classed- Action.?

Well anyway i cant really say anything bad about it except the lack of fight scenes because this movie is a great!! i now preety much watch the movie everyday and wont get sick of it, but like i said, a few more fight scenes would of given the movie that extra bit of...........ummm...........lets just say it would of made it better!

Well about the proprer subject... anyone has his opinion!!!
In my question about another fight I meant another one vs a new gang( and the Warriors would have only wasted their precious time).... but if you say me a fight against the rogues( knowning they shot Cyrus and so "Killed" Cleon... and I was Swan my answer bro is OH YEEEEEEEEEAH!!!! This point,man, I'm sure we think the same thing about!!! Oh poor rogues!!! 8)

I think that having only really 2 fights in the film adds to the realism( even though its done like a comic book just look at the furies for evidence of this). How many times can you fight in one night especially against fresh opponents each time. I cant think of another film which is set in just one night therefore they can fight more in these flicks as they are fresh for each encounter. I agree  more fight scenes would have been nice but then eventually the warriors would have to have lost, and how many of us would want that. Another fight at the end with the rouges would have been great but what I get from the film is that the rouges are actually cowards who would prefer to shoot you instead of rumbling therfore not making a very good fight scene.

If he can't beat them fairly, at least he can shoot them - possibly even graze one of the Warriors with the bullet, but not seriously injure them, then have Swan throw the knife, and when he retrieves it, pull back Luther's neck and be about to cut him, just as the Riffs show up to finish the job.

Man I would have loved to seen this for real!

The Warriors only had their 9 guy representative group for Cyrus's meeting.  They were having to bop their way back to Coney through all of the other gangs' turfs - and most of them were at full strength.  So, they really couldn't fight most of the gangs (9 against 20 or 30...!).
